Mitti

Description

Attar Mitti, also known as the Scent of Rain or Petrichor Oil,  is a traditional Indian perfume that captures the delicate fragrance experienced when the first drops of rain fall on parched earth. This unique scent is reminiscent of the earthy aroma that arises during the monsoon season.

Here’s a brief description of Attar Mitti:

• Origin: The Attar Mitti comes from Kannauj, India, a region renowned for its traditional perfumery.
• Extraction Method: It is crafted using the traditional Deg & Bhapka method of hydro-distillation, where baked earth and heartwood are distilled to capture their essence.
• Composition: The attar consists of baked earth as its primary component, giving it a medium viscosity and its characteristic earthy scent.
• Scent Profile: The fragrance of Mitti Attar is likened to the smell of the earth after a rain shower, offering a unique and grounding scent experience.

The process of making Mitti Attar involves sourcing clay from the topsoil, baking it in a kiln, and then distilling it with water in copper cauldrons. The vapors travel through bamboo pipes and condense over a base of oil to form the attar. This meticulous process ensures the purity and authenticity of the fragrance.
